The weather here is hot all year round. Although it is winter now, it is as warm as spring.
And they also know that the next stop to sail south is Hepu County, which has only 8 people, five counties, and is even more desolate.
After saying goodbye to Panyu City, the army continued to set off and sailed for eight days to reach a county called Xuwen.
After being corrected by the local officials here, they set off from Xuwen, sailed due west, and arrived in Jiaozhi County, Jiaozhou five days later.
Longbian in Jiaozhi County is the state capital of Jiaozhou and the seat of the county. It has an important geographical location and is also the economic and cultural center of the entire Jiaozhou.
"Xingba, we have rashly sailed the warship to Longbian. I am afraid that misunderstandings may easily occur. It is better to send people to the county seat of Zhoucheng to get in touch with the local officials in the west." Xin Ping suggested:
"This Jiaozhi County is no better than Nanhai County. Jiaozhi County has a large population, and there is a state government here. The garrison is strong. If there is a war, it will not be good for our exchanges with the entire Jiaozhou."
"Hahaha, what are you afraid of? I want to see how strong Jiaozhou's army is, and the real strength of these guys living in a corner." Gan Ning said:
"Although we didn't intend to fight, but since ancient times, there has been no friendship and kindness for no reason. Don't look at the prefect of Nanhai County who greeted us with a smile. In fact, he is full of male whores and robbers. He deliberately did not tell us the truth about Jiaozhi County. Actually, I know what this guy is up to.
You can see the information given to us by the main bus shows that the real most powerful family in Jiaozhou is the Shi family. They control the military, government, finance and taxation of the entire Jiaozhou. Without mentioning a word, isn't the purpose of deceiving us to come to Jiaozhi County, and then conflict with Zhang Jin, the governor of Jiaozhou, and then see that we are both hurt, and they are reaping the benefits of the fisherman? "
Xin Ping smiled wryly: "So you know about Xingba, then you have to bite the bullet and go up, and let Zhang Jin not step down, so that the scholars can take advantage of it."
"If you don't light up your sword, how can the people of Jiaozhou fear us? No matter if it's Zhang Jin or the Shijia, they have to fight before they understand our true strength. Then we can talk about anything.
And whether we can let the scholars take advantage of it depends on our bows and crossbows, as well as your resourcefulness. Gan Ning went on to say:
"I heard that Zhang Jin had a good relationship with the Yuan family, Zhongzhi, don't let it go."
Zhang Jin, courtesy name Ziyun, was born in Nanyang County, Jingzhou. After the death of Emperor Ling, he was one of the key figures who led He Jin and Yuan Shao to join forces to murder eunuchs.
So it has a very close relationship with the Yuan family.
The Yuan family is Xu Ding's enemy. Since Zhang Jin has a good relationship with the Yuan family, he is also the enemy of the Donglai Navy, and there is nothing wrong with attacking him.
Xin Ping said embarrassingly: "As long as Xingba can spare his life, I will naturally do my best to plan for the navy."
"It's okay to spare his life, having him is also a bargaining chip to restrain the Shi family." Gan Ning never thought that he must kill Zhang Jin.
But it will depend on Zhang Jin's performance at that time. If he doesn't know how to play, it's hard to say.
The naval warships marched westward along the river to Longbian. After receiving the news, Zhang Jin felt as if he was facing a big enemy, and immediately dispatched troops to defend Longbian, preparing to meet the big enemy.
The entire Jiaozhi County also moved after hearing the news, and they all followed the scholars.
Chapter 446 South China Sea Navigation Plan ([-])
"It's really interesting that warships flying the Han flag came from the sea." Hearing the report, Shi Xie couldn't believe it. They also had a lot of ships in Cochin County. Without ships, it would be difficult to communicate with Nanhai, Hepu and other counties.
There is a shipyard in the Shi family, but the ships produced are not large, so when I heard my subordinates say that the warships of the Han army were huge, six or seven times their size, my first feeling was a false report.
Where in the world can such a large ship be built, even the fleet of Qin Shihuang back then, even the fleet of the Han Dynasty under General Fubo, was not that big.
"Father, what are we doing? Zhang Jinchuan ordered us to lead troops out to intercept it. This Han army seems to have entered the country with hostility. I'm afraid it's not a good thing." Shi Xie's son Shi Zhi asked.
Shi Xie said with a smile: "Which time came from the original center was not hostile, and which one was good. In the border of Jiaozhou, apart from Yulin County and Cangwu County, it is not up to our Shijia to stabilize the overall situation. Safeguard the environment and the people.
Since this Han army came from the east, it must have passed through Xuwen County, maybe it has been to Panyu in the South China Sea. Your fourth uncle is shrewd, so he must have planned something. Let the governor fight this Han army first. Speak. "
"Father means not to send troops for the time being, or if they don't arrive, we will delay in the middle." Shi Zhi immediately understood Shi Xie's meaning, and Shi Xie nodded slightly.
As the largest clan in Jiaozhou, of course they had to be the last ones to save Jiaozhou from turmoil, and Jimian's surname was in a time of fire and water, so as to reflect the specialness of the scholar family.
Zhu Fu, the former governor, was attacked and killed in 190. In the past few years after Zhang Jin took office, he suppressed all the tyrants in Jiaozhou, and at the same time abolished the laws of the Han Dynasty, abolished the electoral system, and switched to Huang Lao's way of doing nothing.
These two aspects have greatly damaged the interests of the Shi family, and it is a kind of damage to the Shi family's dark rule in Jiaozhou.
Therefore, the scholars don't mind getting rid of Zhang Jin with the hands of unknown Han troops.
It's just that the results soon caught them off guard.
"Attack, attack, blast me the Dragon Braid, I want to smash it!"
The navy landed with the scriptures and captured the waterway pier of Longbian City. Soon Gan Ning led all the soldiers to attack the city gate, and started fighting at the slightest disagreement, which was in line with his personality.
Behind Gan Ding, Hua Xiong, Xin Ping and others all smiled wryly.
Am I not the captain of the Marine Corps? This marine battle belongs to me.
Am I not the expedition leader? Charge is my job.
Xingba is sometimes like a child, needing to have fun.
The three of them didn't express what they thought in their hearts. They saw Zhang Jin and the general Qu Jing commanding the army in the city to fight back continuously. Looking at the fierce Donglai Navy, they were crying bitterly and burning with anxiety.
Who is this group of Han troops flying the same banner of the Han family?
Why so fierce?
Not to mention the warships that are several times larger than Jiaozhou, and the army soldiers are also so fierce.
In particular, the crossbow machine in his hand could fire continuously, causing all the crossbowmen on the city to retreat under the battlements.
"kill!"
Gan Ning shot a few arrows, held a gun, and climbed up a ladder two or three times.
As soon as he jumped into the city wall, dozens of defending soldiers rushed towards him. Gan Ning waved his gun and knocked down the group of soldiers. For deterrence, it grabbed a section of the city, and then continued to expand. As more and more naval officers and soldiers attached, the city was soon captured.
"My lord, hurry up, I really can't hold back!" General Qu Jing pulled the governor Zhang Jin to retreat, and all the soldiers retreated to the north gate in a panic, not even picking up the government's belongings in a hurry.
"Take Beicheng, control the main roads and treasuries, and don't chase after the poor." Gan Ning led his men to the governor's mansion. After hearing that Zhang Jin had escaped, he withdrew his troops and stopped fighting. weave city.
Soon Gan Ding, Hua Xiong, Xin Ping and others also entered the city.
Gan Ning said: "Zhongzhi, come to appease the city and recruit powerful landlords who know about this place."
"It's the general!" Xin Ping knew nothing about it. This was his job, so he immediately drafted a letter to the compatriots in Jiaozhi, and arranged for people to post it in various places in the city to tell the people here the actual situation.
"Donglai Navy?"
"Subordinates of the great Han Wei Haihou!"
"The number one in the world, the number one in the world who is unparalleled in civil and martial arts!"
Seeing the notice posted by the navy officers and soldiers, the entire Longbian City was blown up.
Especially those powerful landlords and officials who can read and write.
Never expected that this fleet was actually promised.
